I changed my water pump and in the process of doing so I accidentally pulled some vacuum lines from under the carb. It was the 3 small hoses that go to the charcoal canister and to two more places I'm not really sure of. I had my friend come over with his KA-E and I copied exactly where the lines go back to however my car is starting and shutting off unless I rev. When I rev it'll go up and shoot black smoke and carbon out of the exhaust. Also the rpms will drop and shut off the car unless I rev and then eventually it'll level out at 1k. Also my injectors are ticking if you need pictures I can probably get some snapshots later. Thank you in advance. I need halp

I just tried that and it didn't work the rpms still dropped and when I revved the car it just shot out a bunch of white smoke. Basically my car's rpms keep dropping and when you try to accelerate in 1st it won't be able to keep a steady gas flow and the car will lurch and jump as if you let go of 1st too fast.

I tried to start it several times and it starts right away but it sounds like an old car sorta like a putt putt putt sound and it's shooting smoke that smells like fuel. I'm still not really sure what's wrong. Anyone have any takes?
